Global Lecithin & Phospholipids Market is valued at approximately USD 5.17 Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 6.30%over the forecast period 2022-2028. Lecithin (phosphatidylcholine) is a choline precursor. The major purposes of the multifunctional food ingredient lecithin are emulsified and dispersion. Lecithin's elemental composition, which includes a complex blend of phospholipids, glycolipids, carbohydrates, and triglycerides, is what provides it its surface-active characteristics. The global lecithin and phospholipids market is being driven by shifting consumer preferences toward convenience foods, changing work culture, and global retail expansion. The IMCD Group BV acquired Polychem Handelsges. m.b.H. in December 2021 to serve customers and partners throughout Southeast Europe (SEE). By establishing the first laboratory in this region, it expands the global network of technical ers while also providing further regional development in SEE emerging markets. Key players are making strategic moves to leverage significant shares in the market. Vav Life Sciences increased its production capacity in November 2021 to meet overseas demand and increase sales by 3.5 times. Furthermore, Vav Life Sciences invested USD 2 million to increase production capacity at the EU GMP site in order to meet international demand. However, health concerns about the consumption of genetically modified (GM) products are expected to limit market growth.
